OK, I don't doubt either statement. I'll bet it has something to do with
my query, but exactly what, I don't know.

Yes, I expected that. This would be the same whether my stick was a stick
or a USB hard drive. Are you saying that no BIOSes currently available
can boot from a USB device?

And are the ecs USB BASEDEVs able to do this?

Just asking it politely to copy. Can it do that? Even it booting would
not be possible for some reason, why would RSJ care if the device it was
copying to was a flash drive rather than either a CD or a directory on the
hard drive?
Hoping to provide some additional humor....
